[PATCH] block: z2ram: fix dangling gendisk pointer on add_disk() failure

[Muhammad Bilal]

z2ram_register_disk() stores the freshly allocated gendisk in
z2ram_gendisk[minor] before calling add_disk(). If add_disk() fails,
it drops the reference with put_disk() but leaves the array entry
pointing at the now-freed gendisk instead of clearing it.

z2_init() only aborts and unwinds when minor 0 fails; a later minor
failing just leaves that dangling entry in place and the module still
reports successful load. z2_exit() then unconditionally calls
del_gendisk()/put_disk() on every entry in z2ram_gendisk[], so module
removal walks into the stale pointer left behind by the earlier
failure.

Clear the array entry when add_disk() fails, and skip NULL entries in
z2_exit(), matching how a minor that never registered is represented.
